Yes, but chess.com is a commercial partner of Komodo, so this is more like Larry Kaufman giving us an endorsement of his own program than a totally unbiased and independent review.

True but biases aside, I still thought he did a great job of pointing out the Strategic Concepts in that game.

I certainly agree that Sam is a good analyst/commentator!

It's Chess.com giving an endorsement of its computer chess events showcasing the newest strong engine, as the game came out of the first event Dragon participated in at chess.com. Sam Copeland made a few videos about some of the games of Stockfish NNUE at chess.com when it first came out in the summer.

Thanks for the further details. They do deserve more credit if they've given coverage to other worthy engines.
